Secure your crypto assets with the most trusted hardware wallet

About Ledger Hardware Wallets

Ledger hardware wallets are specialized devices designed to provide the highest level of security for your cryptocurrency assets. Unlike software wallets that are connected to the internet, Ledger devices store your private keys in a secure, offline environment.

With Ledger, you can securely manage and grow your crypto portfolio while maintaining complete control over your digital assets. Our devices support over 1,800 cryptocurrencies and tokens, making them the ideal solution for both beginners and experienced crypto enthusiasts.

Secure Element Chip

Ledger devices use a certified secure chip (CC EAL5+), similar to those used in passports and credit cards, to protect your private keys from sophisticated attacks.

📱

Ledger Live App

The Ledger Live application provides a user-friendly interface to manage your crypto assets, check balances, and make transactions securely.

🌐

Multi-Currency Support

Store, manage, and exchange Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and more than 1,800 other cryptocurrencies and tokens all in one secure place.
